Description This thoughtful pachyderm sits in quiet contemplation on a stump in Mongolia. Interestingly he sits in the thinker pose made famous by sculptor Rodin. This beautiful landscape is perfect wall decor for adults and children. This African elephant was coaxed into this pose through the use of digital photographic manipulation.

Stephanie Roeser, Bay area, CaliforniaMember Since December 2010Artist Statement I have been a quiet artist all my life. Realistic portrait and figure drawing and sculpture was what I enjoyed most. I created less than part time. I found other creative outlets but just here and there. I did some ceramics, built and fixed things around the house and made my daughter Halloween costumes.

In 2008 I was introduced to the art of photographic manipulation using Photoshop. This is my new outlet for my creativity. I never seem to get tired of it. Anyway, I enjoy creating these images and I hope that you will enjoy looking at them.

I especially like to put different animals in unusual situations. Many of my photos feature elephants but I also have many photos with dogs, cats, mice, lions and even dragons. I should have some tiger pictures coming soon. And, just for variety I will upload some non-animal photos too.
